Now I'm no classical afficiando, but when Wilf produced two tickets to a concert in St-Martin-in-the-Fields yesterday I was more than pleased. Beforehand we went for a romantic picnic and drank some 'wine based drink' purchased from Sainsbury's which was at best foul and at worst, like drinking petrol, but what do you expect for the princely sum of £2.50 per bottle?
The church was fairly packed out, but Wilf and I snuggled into our side pew. There were a myriad of odd people there: one gentleman was so old we thought he'd expire before the end and one man so fat, he had trouble squeezing into his seat. The German pianist was fairly accomplished and even cracked a few jokes between the Chopin and the Beethoven. The second half was slightly marred by a rather odd fellow who insisted on filling the neighbouring pew with all of his shopping. That being said, we had a good time and I'm really looking forward to the weekend baptism in a few days time.
